Huevos Rancheros with Queso Fresco

Since Huevos Rancheros is one of Gerry's favorite breakfasts, I decided to try this one egg dish for dinner. He is not a fan of breakfast for dinner but this had enough heartiness and spice to qualify as a dinner. This was a recipe I found in one of my Cooking Light Cookbooks and was really very easy to make since it used a few canned items freshened up with a few fresh ingredients. Overall the spice level in this dish was perfect, especially over my homemade tortillas that I had stashed in the freezer.

We also had an orange, pineapple, and coconut Ambrosio for dessert which was made from canned pineapple chunks, fresh orange segments, and a little powdered sugar, all sprinkled with a little flaked sweetened coconut. This was the perfect ending to the spicier entree.


Huevos Ranchers with Queso Fresco
Adapted from Cooking Light Dinner Tonight Cookbook

1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons water
1 (16-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon butter
4 large eggs
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled queso fresco cheese

Combine tomatoes and enchilada sauce in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes or until slightly thick. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro and juice. Set aside.

Place water and beans in a microwave-safe bowl, and partially mash with a fork. Cover and microwave at high 2 minutes or until hot.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; melt the butter. Add eggs and cook 1 minute on each side or until desired degree of doneness.

Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spread about 1/3 cup beans over each tortilla; top each tortilla with 1 egg. Spoon 1/2 cup sauce around each egg; sprinkle each serving with 1/4 cup cheese.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 topped tortilla).

  7. I've been browsing on-line greater than 3 hours lately, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is lovely value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the net will be a lot more helpful than ever before.

  8. Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if
    blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Have a look at my website - Kiddy-Party - das Portal rund um die Kindergeburtstagsparty
